Introduction
The M2-10HB is a set of two black 10″ 2-way full-range horn-loaded Color Optix speakers that are made with high-quality materials and are specifically created to be BIG and LOUD! For “open-air” situations with long-range projection capability, the frequency response is specially optimized. Additionally, they are made with the maritime environment in mind are Element Ready, making them perfect for use in saltwater or freshwater craft as well as some UTV installations. Our Color Optix plug & play controller and app allow the M2-10HB, a member of our Color Optix family, to provide endless multicolor LED illumination (PMX-RGB Sold Separately).

MARINE GRADE WITH IPX6 WATER INTRUSION RATING: Which translates to: Water jets that are powerfully directed in any direction shall not cause damage.
INFINITE CUSTOMIZATION: There are several grille options available to customize your experience while on the water. includes grille inserts made of both stainless steel and sport.
TRUE MARINE ECOSYSTEM: Marine plug-and-play connectivity and flexible installation options are offered by dual integrated Deutsch/Amphenol connections.
HOW TO BREAK-IN
Use your system at typical listening levels for a total of 24 to 48 hours of listening to “break-in” your woofers. Don’t “bump it” the system yet; wait until the woofer suspension has returned to its regular relaxed position before turning it on loud.
HOW TO TEST SPEAKERS
Positive lead of the speaker should be connected to the positive battery end, and negative lead to the negative battery end. The speaker is still in good working order if it can produce a pulse.
FAQs
Is Rockford a reliable audio company?****
One of the most well-known names in automotive audio, Rockford Fosgate offers drivers premium sound at competitive prices.
What is the impedance of Rockford Fosgate speakers?****
The P3 12″ can handle 600 Watts RMS of power and has dual 4-Ohm voice coils. A grille insert can be used with the accompanying cast aluminum trim ring.
Rockford Fosgate: A worthy substitute?****
Absolutely, the Rockford Fosgate P3 series subs are top-notch. In actuality, it’s the finest subwoofer they’ve ever produced for a car series.
Good Rockford amplifiers?****
Some of the best amplifiers available are made by Rockford Fosgate. They are well-known for their outstanding products and have a proven track record.
Which ohms, higher or lower, is preferable?****
So yes, higher ohms provide a better sound experience, but only if you’re using the right amp to supply the necessary power. For example, using 100 ohm headphones with a laptop won’t give you the experience you were hoping for because most computers only allow an impedance of 32 ohms.
Are speakers with more or less ohms better?****
The efficiency with which the electric signal, which is essentially the music, can travel through the speaker is inversely proportional to the impedance.
Does having more ohms make the speaker louder?****
Here is a helpful thumb rule to remember: To make the speaker louder, more power is required the higher the subwoofer impedance (electrical resistance) or ohm rating (load impedance).
What increases the impact of a subwoofer?****
Your subwoofer can also receive small improvements to increase its impact. Replace the voice coil, the little cone in front of the subwoofer, or buy a new enclosure for the subwoofer.
What is the best watt amplifier?****
For a stereo pair of speakers, the amplifier should be rated at 700 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
What increases a speaker’s impact?****
There is some correlation between speaker size and speaker loudness. The louder a speaker can get, especially with older sound systems, the bigger the speaker’s circumference.
Does a higher resistance mean more bass?****
Louder sound is produced by a subwoofer with a lower electrical resistance than one with a high electrical resistance, which means that 2ohm subwoofers are louder than 4ohm ones.
How high an ohm is it?****
The resistance of your coil(s) is directly tied to error messages about ohms, which denote that a coil is incompatible with the device.
What happens if the ohms are different?****
The resistance decreases, for instance, if you attach 4-ohm speakers instead of 8-ohm speakers to your amplifier.
Should my speakers be connected in series or parallel?****
Speakers wired in parallel will always be louder. Less voltage per speaker due to series wiring results in increased impedance, which reduces speaker volume.
How are speakers and receivers matched?****
The second piece of advice in our guide on matching amplifiers and speakers is: Compare the ohms in your speaker with the ohms your amplifier can handle.
